What is the reason why FC Seoul defender and Jordanian national defender Yazan Al-Rab danced Gangnam style while watching Korea's game.

Jordan won the 9th Group B match against Oman in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Sultan Qaboos Stadium in Muscat, Oman, on the 6th (Korea Standard Time), confirming its advance to the World Cup finals. Jordan's victory confirmed its first trip to the World Cup finals in history.

South Korea's victory over Iraq helped Jordan go to the World Cup. Jordan and Iraq were competing until the end for the second place, where tickets to the World Cup finals were given. Jordan, who played earlier, watched the match between South Korea and Iraq with 16 points. If South Korea wins against Iraq, Jordan's advance to the World Cup finals will be confirmed.




Jordanian players began to dance when South Korea's victory became favorable, which became a hot topic in South Korea through the SNS of Jordanian national team players. Yazan, a member of the Jordanian national team, was able to hear about the situation at the time.

After the match against Gangwon FC held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 17th, Yazan said "I think it was actually the moment when I wrote history as a Jordanian citizen. It was an honor for us to make history even though we never made it to the World Cup. The royal family of Jordan also invited him. The invitation of the royal family was a tremendous honor for the people of Jordan. The Prince of Jordan always followed the team, supported and motivated me. "I was so honored to be in the World Cup, living up to that expectation, and it was a good occasion."

The royal family of Jordan invited the Jordanian squad after their qualification for the World Cup, and Yazan communicated with FC Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong to attend the event. Coach Kim readily gave his permission. Instead, I expected Yazan to come back and show a good performance.

When I asked Yazan if he was dancing while watching the match between Korea and Iraq "Not only me, but all the players all danced together. After beating Oman, I watched the Korean game together with the players, the association people, and the association president. When the Korean national team scored the second goal, I was so happy that we had time to dance together. "I danced Gangnam style dance..." he replied with a smile.

Jordan is currently on the best track in Asia. South Korea also suffered a humiliating loss to Jordan at the 2023 Asian Cup. Yazan said "There is also ambition as a whole. I think it's made up of players who are good at it. In particular, there are a lot of really good players in the offense"Jordan's reasons for the rise were revealed.

However, Yazan said, `We relied a lot on the individual skills of the attacking players and played a lot of soccer. In order to be competitive in the World Cup finals, I think we should learn from the goalkeeper to the part where we can play from the back. Our director is fully aware of this. We still have a year before the World Cup and enough time to build a team."I believed Jordan would be able to perform well at the World Cup.
